Echo Requests
Please fill out this form when requesting an Echo, then post it to this entry. The request will be dealt with as soon as possible.
When requesting an Echo induced by a past-life parallel/recurrence, please demonstrate clearly the similarity between the events, as well as the relation between the events and what is returned.
As of September 2013, Tier 2 Echoes can be granted once a month per character. Take care to specify the limitations and/or level of detail to the Echo requested! If you are unsure, suggestions will be gladly offered.
As of November 2014, Characters who have had their echoes for over a year can cause echoes in other people This is involuntary, cannot be controlled by either character and doesn't require a recurrence. The receiving character must have 15 echoes or less; they must be physically close to the other character; only tier 1 echoes can be caused that way; one cannot give themselves echoes. Both players must, of course, have consented to this oocly. A character can receive echoes through this mechanic no more than 10 times, and only up to 3 times from the same character. If requesting one of these echoes, please indicate the character from which the echo was received.
Reason for Echo: What caused the Echo, whether it be by a plot-related trigger, a person or a canon recurrence. For the latter, this must be unusual enough to have been the first time the character has encountered it within Locke City, and strongly resemble a specific event from canon. Picking up a jug of milk from the store will not cause an Echo if it isn't any different than the times the character has done it before.
Type and tier: Physical change, power/ability, mental/memory, or item/creature. Tier 1 are the regular Echoes, and are typically a single memory/ability/item/etc. Tier 2 are essentially two regular Echoes rolled into one, such as an item and a memory or ability associated with it, or two directly-related memories, or so on. Currently only one Tier 2 Echo is allowed per month, so please be sure to note them somehow on your info posts.
What is returned: In the case of canon recurrences, these must be directly related to what has caused the Echo. Stronger recurrences = stronger Echoes.

Character: Kara
Reason for Echo: Watching the alien broadcast.
Type and tier: Tier 1, creature
What is returned: Silkie, Starfire's pet mutant moth larva. He will not have any of his mutant abilities - so no ability to eat inorganic objects, grow to stupid sizes when exposed to alien food, turn into a killer adult moth, or gigantic appetite. He's just an ugly-cute little larva right now.
Reason for Echo: Watching the alien broadcast NO IT'S ALSO A CANON PARALLEL I'M SORRY.
Type and tier: Tier 1, memory
What is returned: The memory of the Gordanian's first broadcast announcement to Jump City in Go, stating that they're on Earth to recover Starfire and will destroy anyone who opposes them while doing so.
Character: Nyah Leijon
Reason for Echo: Watching the alien broadcast.
Type and tier: Tier 1, ability
What is returned: The return of her sylladex. Pretty much useless to her right now since she doesn't have the memory of what modus it uses or any cards to store things, but she's aware that she should be able to hammerspace things now.
Reason for Echo: Octavia rattling off relevant names to try and see if she's any of those people.
Type and tier: Tier 1, memory
What is returned: The memory that she was friends with Vriska, Karkat, Eridan, Tavros, Aradia, Sollux, Equius, Gamzee, Feferi, and she played some kind of important game together with them and a few others.

In regards to Kara's, however, a single specified trigger can only set off a single Echo - might she receive two Echoes from the alien broadcast by focusing on something apart from the broadcast itself, or do you have preference for one or the other?

BUT YEAH I wasn't really sure how this would work since the FAQ didn't really say anything about stuff that triggered echoes but would have anyway because of canon parallels. I'm more partial to her getting the Gordanian memory back, since Silkie can always wait
for any even more inconvenient momentfor another time.no subject
